To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that L'VVILLIAM C. LINEA- wEAvnR, a citizen of United Statesresiding fication, reference being had therein to the accompanyingdrawings.

This invention relates to copy holders I and has for an object toprovide a device of the class for use especially with copy which is tobe secured to a board for photographing or copying in any other mannerand in which use a considerable number of the originals are placedpreferably in the same location for the purpose of saving time infocusing the camera or arranging .other details of the copyingapparatus.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device having spacedpenetrating points connected by an articulated bar so that one of saidpoints may be permanently fixed in the board as a positioning orregistering 1 member, while the other point hinged thereto maybe movedabout the inserted point as a pivot to secure the copy to the board inany approved manner.

A further object of the inventionv'is to provide hinged members havingperforations at-or adjacent their ends, preferably similarly spaced uponopposite sides of the hinge and with penetarting members carried by theperforations with. a screwthreaded head member attached to the screwmember, not only for the purpose of attaching the pointed member to thebar but for manual engagement with the device in use, p

A further object of the invention is to provide an articulated memberhaving penetrating points equally spacedupon opposite,

sides of the articulating hinge with an engaging member clamping thepenetrating member to the articulated member so that the penetratingmembers may be replaced when damaged by use without discarding theentire instrument. a

With this and other objects in view the invention comprises certainnovel parts, elements, units, mechanical movements, functions andcombinations as disclosed in the drawing together with their equivalentsas ll be hereinafter more fully de ib d and claimed.- v

, In the securing of origlnals for thepurpose of copying, either byphotographic process or otherwise, especially where a consi'derablenumber of originals of like size a and general uniform character are tobe, employed, it is des rable to have fixed members' whereby theoriginals may always;

register so thatthe copying apparatus, be

it a camera or what it may, will-require the minimum amount ofadjustment forputting it in condition for copying.

. The present invention embodies a pair of spaced points, one ofwhichmay be employed as a registering guide, while the other may beemployed for penetrating the copy or penetrating only the supportingboard to clamp the copy thereto. .It comprises a pair of bars 10 and 11,similar each to the other, hinged together at 12. At the remote ends ofthe bars 10 and 11 perforations '13 are formed. A headmember'inproportioned to be inserted in and through the perforations 13and an annular shoulder 16 to bear upon the bars 10 and 11 respectively.The shank 15. is hollow and screw-threaded as at 17 to receive thescrewdicated at 14: is provided with a shank; 15

threadedlug 18. The lug 18 is preferably integral with an annularshoulder member 19 which clamps upon the side of the bars 10 and 11 byinserting the shank 15 in the opening 17 and clamping the shoulders 16spaced to correspond identically with the and 19 upon opposite sides ofthe bars by screwing together the two members as 111- dicated moreparticularly at Figure 3. A penetrating point 20 is formed as anorganized structure together with the shoulder 19 so that either of thepenetrating points may enter the board 21 whereupon is positioned theoriginal as at 22.

As shown at Figure 2 one of the penetratingpoints. 20 will be employedas the positioning member permittlng the other one to swing upon thehinge 12 to the dotted i-linepositioni shown therein for the purpose ofreleasing the original. Preferably also, when the original is properlyregistered upon the point remaining inserted in the board, the otherpoint will "be inserted through the original itself into the board. Incase it is desired not to perforate the original, both points maybeinserted in the board outside the margin of the original as shown atFigure 1. While at- Figure 1 two of the devices are shown as securingthe original to the board it isobvious that any greater number may beemployed as circumstances may make desirable, With a pluralitygreaterthan two of the devices, the proper: registering and positioning of theoriginal will be made more convenient and certain whether the secondpenetrating member enters throughthe original or only at the marginasshown.

It is obvious that by retaining one of the penetrating points inposition upon the board. the succeeding original may be perforations,and means carried by the bars and the perforations for manual control ofl the device.

2. A copy holder comprising a pair of articulated bars havingcorresponding spaced perforations upon opposite ends of the pivoting,penetrating points carried by the bars inserted in the perforations andextending upon the same side of the articulated bars, and manualengaging means carried upon the opposite sides of the bars and oppositeto and for controlling the penetrating points.

3. A copy holder comprising articulated bars penetrating points carriedremovably by the bars equally spaced upon opposite sides of thearticulation, and manual ongaging heads carried upon the opposite sidesof the bar. adjacent to and for controlling the penetrating points.

l. A copy holder comprising bar sections hinged together, penetratingpoints carried by the bar sections adjacent their remote ends andextending upon the same side of the combined hinged structure,- andmanual ei'igaging heads carried by the bar sections opposite to'and forcontrolling the penetrating points.-

5. A copy holder comprising bar sections pivoted intermediate theirends, penetrating points carried 'removably by the bars at theirremoteends and equally spaced upon opposite ends of the hinging, and removablemanual engaging heads carried by the bar sections upon the sidesopposite to and for controlling the penetrating points.

6. A copy holder comprising articulated bar sections having perforationsadjacent their remote ends, penetrating points hav-L ing shanks insertedthrough the perform tions, and manual engaging heads having means-forengaging with the shanks and clamping the penetrating points upon and tothe bar sections.

7. A copy holder comprising articulated bar sections having perforationsat their opposite ends equally spaced upon opposite ends of thearticulation, manual engaging heads having shanks proportioned to beinserted through and substantially fill said perforation and havinginternally screwthreaded bore, and penetratingpoints provided withscrew-threaded shanks proportioned to be inserted in the screw-threadedto be clamped by the actuation of said screwthreaded engagement upon thebar sections. In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature inpresence of two Witnesses.
